Greenslade + Malawi

It was only a short break, but a lot happened in the newspaper world while I was away. I will deal with the big stories involving Andy Coulson, the Pakistan cricket team, Wayne Rooney and William Hague in separate postings later today

Radio is the most popular source for news in Malawi, partly due to the high illiteracy rate and partly because of the country's limited newspaper circulation. A survey conducted by three journalism organisations across 13 countries in southern Africa found that Malawi had the highest percentage of people, some 95%, naming radio as their primary news source.
